Guess The Ghosts

What the hell is he doing here?

——————

Someone pulled Zaidan's arm so tightly that the young man was immediately drawn forward.

"huffs. huffff..."

Realizing what was happening, Zaidan raised his head and was so shocked to see Nina that he thought left him, now standing before him holding both arms.

"Nina...?"

The woman's gaze was straight looking at something, Zaidan turned his head back.

"..."

There is a small woman with a uniform attached to her body. But strangely the woman was not wearing shoes or other footwear.

And what frightened Zaidan even more was that on the woman's hand there was blood dripping, and Zaidan was very sure right now, too, that woman was the one who made him feel the stifling pain.

"Huh, who is he?..."

The woman, who had initially looked at her own hand, turned to look at Zaidan.

There Zaidan could clearly see the two sharp and intimidating eyeballs.

"Don't bother this man. You almost killed him." Nina voiced.

Every second that was missed were tense moments.

Zaidan certainly does not want to be trapped in this situation, but what power can only be attached to the ghost of the only one he believes, namely Nina the long white woman.

"I won't interfere. But can you help my friend?..."

The little ghost lowered his hand.

Zaidan who was unable to digest his words only furrowed his brows. Zaidan thought, actually who does he mean friend?, is 'he' another kind of ghost?, Will it be stranger than the figures he has seen?...

"Humans there know about my friend.., please help my dear friend....."

"I beg you, man."

The small ghostly face was extremely pale, yet unable to cover up the sadness that suddenly emerged from the ghost's eyes.

Not only did he ask more, or at least ask what he meant. The little ghost instantly disappeared in an instant. Making Zaidan petrified on the spot.

"... Zaidan?"

"Oh!" he nodded and looked at Nina.

Because it was so close to Nina, Zaidan until misbehaving and rewinded himself until Nina's hand grip detached from her body.

'It's too real to be called a ghostly touch.' after his previous physical contact near the big tree and in the last few seconds, he was still shocked and still unable to believe in that reality. No one told him that humans and ghosts could interact physically.

"Does Zaidan's body hurt?"

"T-not anymore!", Zaidan shook his head. " I'm just surprised that Nina's still here..."

Nina immediately looked around him closely.

"I've been here since, why would Zaidan think that?"

Hearing those words, Zaidan became focused on his attention that had been ruffled by everything that had happened. Zaidan then asked what Nina meant by those words. And Nina answered him very well.

"Zaidan seemed to be exposed to the deceit affirmed to Zaidan by the ghost. When Zaidan's mind is not clear, the trickery can immediately attack and expose the trickery to his subconscious and Zaidan's mind will be controlled completely by the ghost."

Zaidan. He didn't expect the matter to be that complicated, and now it's the 'presumed' to be tricked.

"Is that true??, I. I didn't know there was such a thing before" Zaidan continued to deny.

"Now perhaps Zaidan can still pretend not to feel it, but not the next."

"Therefore, watch the air where Zaidan is. Every ghost can't be trusted"

"Huh..?"

"Nina, but you're a ghost too, why think that?"

In the place of minimal illumination there are only Zaidan and Nina who are different types of creatures. Wouldn't it make no sense if the woman said that no ghost could be trusted?, Zaidan only hopes Nina never feels herself inferior to any kind of ghost because Zaidan considers Nina 'more' than the others.

But the answer is quite disappointing. In this matter again Nina behaved mysteriously and was difficult to guess.

"That's something you should've done." Nina insists, "Nothing special."

Unable to stand this strange atmosphere, Zaidan finally decided to forget things that he had not digested and invited Nina to visit the Great Tree as they promised.

"Umm..., you're not going to cancel that promise because of what happened, are you?"

"No. Does Zaidan want to go now?".

"Yes, as I walk, may I ask you something?"

He glanced at Nina.

"Like Zaidan alone."

*tab. Tabs. Tab...,

While walking, he raised his gaze up to look up at the sky. The circle that was so dazzling at the time was not yet fully above, and somehow it made itself relieved.

He recalls his daily life that happened to him hundreds of times. Study, go home about 12 and a half, go to the store, the sky turns into an orange, and go home. It had happened constantly, and even he felt very happy when it could ruin his daily life even if only once.

Besides her current body Nina, she never brought up the topic of conversation if it wasn't necessary. But he is there and very good at answering. Zaidan really felt that their relationship was getting closer.

"Regarding what I want to talk about..."

"How did Nina know about the tree?, but that was your first day here?"

He continues his question.

"Did you feel like there was something strange when you saw this place, and remembered something?..."

The reason why Zaidan brought this up was because of his mommy words that were still in the shadows in his mind.

"Members something? ..... What does Zaidan mean?"

Suddenly Zaidan retracted his own words as if knowing that it sounded like he was forcing and suspecting Nina.

"Ah, no. Forget it yeah"

"If there's something Nina wants to tell you, then just tell me."

Zaidan and Nina stopped. In front of them was an unlocked iron door. Then on the right and left of the door there is a wall that makes anyone can not see the other side of the wall. The only way to get there is through an iron door.

*Settle.....

The door moves slowly in the opposite direction.

Zaidan started to pass through and kept going.

"Hmm?"

He sharpened his gaze when he saw something far ahead of him.

Apparently, someone else was standing and enjoying the wind under the tree. As Zaidan walked closer and closer, one was seen to be aware of his arrival and turned around until Zaidan could completely guess who it was.

Few minutes ago~~

The half-conscious and half-dreaming Spell was surprised to be suddenly thrown a ball by one of her friends.

Spontaneously he caught it.

"Relations! would you like to play ball with us?, I heard the teacher was in a sudden meeting so we should have gone home quickly" they cheered.

Although it has been invited and actually Spell has also been quite a long time not playing, but he rejected it subtly.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I want to play today. See you tomorrow!" he threw the ball back.

Understanding the situation of his friend, a group of boys agreed and waved his hand then immediately started the game without participation Spell. They don't seem to have a problem with that.

To be honest Spija lately preoccupied by the content of his own mind and reduce the usual social activities he did. The reason is only one, which is to find out if the ghost really exists, and it turns out that the incident when 'that night' did not make him feel afraid and instead wanted to continue looking for the truth.

***

Upon hearing the news that in the big tree behind the school there was an apparition, he immediately found out.

In front of the tree he stood straight.

While watching every twig, leaf, and other he found nothing, and instead he heard the sound of a cat suddenly touching his feet.

"A cat?"

He lifted the cat slowly.

After an hour of standing looking at the tree and not finding anything, he started to feel tired and decided to go home.

***

And the next day, he returned to the tree and rediscovered the cat that he had found yesterday, because he had expected it. This time he brought food that the cat could eat.

But while petting the cat while staring at the tree with a little disappointment, Spij suddenly heard the footsteps of someone from behind. And that is Zaidan.
